Cassiterite
specimen number:
2453806
location:
Oruro, Bolivia
description:
An excellent example for the species from this classic area with lustrous translucent large sharply formed crystals of cassiterite to 2.5 cm in size over the top of a 6.0 x 5.0 x 3.5 cm matrix. Extremely sparse and minor micro-chipping present, overall I think in very fine condition. This displays beautifully on its own. Shipping weight: 0.34 pounds. Ex Jordi Povill collection.
